  1. I would like your honest opinion....over the past 10 years, has Baylor had more talent on their rosters than Texas?
  2. UH NFL Draft 2016-2018 (would've played 1-2 years under Herman): Classes of 2012-2015: Had no draft eligible 4 or 5 stars on roster, but did have an unranked and a few 2 stars drafted Guys he recruited but were drafted after he left: 1/1 5 star, 0/3 4 star (class of 2016, played 1 year for Herman, drafted in 2019 or 2020) UT NFL Draft 2018-2020 Class of 2014 (one year under Herman): 0/0 5 star, 0/7 4 star (including Poona) Class of 2015 (played one or two years under Herman): 1/1 5 star, 2/9 4 star (Kris Boyd, DeShon Elliott, Holton Hill) Class of 2016 (played two or three years under Herman): 0/0 5 star (247 has B Jones listed as a 4 star), 3/12 4 star (RS Okafor could still add to this. Also includes guys that played at least one year for Herman and transferred, so Buechele, K Porter, Christmas-Giles, and Urquidez could theoretically add to this number) Class of 2017 (transition class): No early draft enrollees (6 4 stars, 1 has transferred, 1 JUCO undrafted)
  3. 2008-2017? So you're saying late era Mack Brown and Charlie Strong sucked at developing? That's the first time that opinion has ever been shared on this site! Looking at Tom Herman's recruits/draftees according to 247: Houston (played at least 1 year under Herman): Unranked: 1 2 Star: 3 3 Star: 6 5 Star: 1 (out of 1) Given that Houston hadn't had multiple players taken in a single draft since 1998, I'd venture to say his developmental track record compared pretty well to Houston's past. Texas (played at least 1 year under Herman, none were recruited by him): Unranked: 1 (The Punter) 3 Star: 2 4 Star: 5 5 Star: 1 (out of 1)(Malik, Brandon Jones was a 4 star on 247) His first draft class would've been eligible this year, but none declared early. All that to say, the graph you provided is entirely misleading when it comes to the developmental track record of the current staff. But as a "guest" on this site, I'm sure you knew that.
  4. That's, um, an interesting addition to this thread...
  5. Yea, but with the context of being on the hot seat... Patterson has a statue on campus and he's not going anywhere anytime soon. Hell, that record is pretty acceptable for TCU. For Texas, that record has the Fire Tom Herman thread at 140 pages (granted it's buried on page 6 of the football board right now) and fans wondering if he'll earn job security this year.
  6. siap but, these were last week's power rankings https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29158569/kbo-weekly-power-rankings-top-plays-performers-ahead ESPN's KBO Power Rankings 1. Kiwoom Heroes: 5-1 (Last week: 1) -- Sang Woo Cho has been the anchor for the busy Kiwoom bullpen, going 3-for-3 in save chances. 2. Doosan Bears: 3-2 (3) -- Jose Fernandez of Cuba, who hit .344 for Doosan last year, leads the KBO with a .591 average (13-for-22). 3. LG Twins: 2-3 (2) -- The Twins rallied from a 6-0 first-inning deficit Sunday to hand the NC Dinos their first loss, 10-7. 4. NC Dinos: 4-1 (6) -- The Dinos broke out of the gate 4-0, getting solid starts from former big leaguer Drew Rucinski and Chang Mo Koo, who combined to throw 12 shutout innings. 5. Lotte Giants: 5-0 (8) -- A league-best 3.13 team ERA led to a big start for the Giants, who finished last in 2019. 6. SK Wyverns: 1-4 (4) -- SK has scored a league-low 17 runs despite Dong Min Han's league-high .944 slugging percentage. 7. KT Wiz: 1-4 (5) -- The young Wiz pitching staff is off to a slow start, with a 7.19 team ERA. 8. Samsung Lions: 2-4 (7) -- The Lions, who are hitting just .199 as a team, scored more than half of their 27 total runs in a 14-2 win over Kia. 9. Kia Tigers: 2-4 (9) -- The Tigers have the league's worst run differential (-15), but they also have Week 1's top hitter, Preston Tucker (.476, 3 HRs, 11 RBIs). Tucker played three MLB seasons with the Braves, Reds and Astros. 10. Hanwha Eagles: 2-4 (10) -- Hanwha looks to bounce back from a three-game weekend sweep against the Giants.
  7. 13 out of state vs 10 in state. Including almost their entire defensive class coming from OOS? Yea, that'll turn out well.
  8. TE, supposedly a good and athletic blocker...for those that are good at the whole WATCH. THE. TAPE. thing, how does he compare to Connor Williams? Aggy eventually moves this kid to play tackle? (God knows they need something there)
  9. I know the rule about coaches....if you hire a high school coach to a non assistant position, you can't recruit his team's players for two years. Does that apply for parents as well?
  10. I'm gonna go with the SK Wyverns. I love a good comeback story...and Wyvern just sounds like a cool mascot.
  11. How many royal names are we trying to get on the roster?
  12. Haven't watched his film yet, but I think he's the next Christian McCaffrey.
  13. Just 3 more years and this will be entirely accurate.
  14. Good thing the two newest coaches in the League of Champions are...checks notes...Mike Leach and Lane Kiffin.
  15. As funny as having Bobby Brown at #9 in state (and above Coburn), I think it's funnier that he's listed as a DE.
  16. Interesting. Per that article, in the last 5 years, "cited as undisputed fact that from 2015 to 2019, the women's national team averaged $220,747 per game in total payments (for a total of $24.5 million), while the men's national team averaged $212,639 per game in total payments (for a total of $18.5 million). Those figures do not include compensation women's players receive from U.S. Soccer for play in the National Women's Soccer League." I did not know that and if that's true, then I don't see what the argument is in terms of compensation. So the hypothetical that the USWNT presented about 20 friendlies...how can that be true if they got paid more per game in the last 5 years? I don't know. Also, ChickenSandwhich hit the nail on the head. In the article, there's a video interview with Julie Foudy (https://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=29125706) where she states that back in her day, they negotiated the CBAs to include guaranteed salaries in order to provide protections from injury, maternity, severance pay etc since women didn't have the massive club contracts that men do to fall back on. The federal judge ruled against them partly because of these extra protections and guarantees and the value that they add. "Therefore, while the women's players argued that, after winning the World Cup in 2015 and 2019, they would have made more money under the terms of a men's CBA, which offered higher game bonuses, the court noted that there was "indisputably economic value" to the guarantees included only in the women's CBA. "Merely comparing what WNT players received under their own CBA with what they would have received under the MNT CBA discounts the value that the team placed on the guaranteed benefits they received under their agreement," the ruling stated, "Which they opted for at the expense of higher performance-based bonuses." Also interesting to note: "Klausner (judge) noted that representatives of the players rejected a pay-for-play model identical to the men early in those negotiations in 2016. In later negotiations, the players offered a counterproposal with lesser bonuses than the federation's offer in exchange for more contracted players and higher base salaries -- benefits not part of the CBA between U.S. Soccer and the men's union." The only thing the court left unsettled was "the plaintiffs' Title VII claims regarding discrimination in charter flights and hotel accommodations and medical and training support" which I suppose would be much simpler to prove one way or the other.
  17. Thought he signed before Matt Rhule took Carolina job?
  18. Are we trusting the word of Anwar "Tyrone Swoopes is starting and it's not even close" Richardson now?
  19. That count does not include Urquidez. He's not listed on that chart.
  20. First I heard of it was actually for a softball transfer we just got...Ole Miss pitcher, had the choice of going to OT school in Iowa or taking more undergraduate studies at Texas in order to play a grad transfer year at Texas. I don't know how that process works though....do you have to declare a major and get accepted to a certain school? Some sort of general admission in order to take any classes she wants? (Think about someone who graduates, but then transfers schools in order to take 1-2 classes needed as prerequisites for some late career track change)
  21. I don't remember where, but I've read that in some other reports.
  22. I'm a little younger, so I never really saw Bird play other than highlights (obviously, not saying Dirk was as good. Bird of course was definitely better). The "shoot with range" part that you mentioned was really what I saw in that clip of Bird that led me to make that comparison. That post-up turn around fade away, reverse lay ups, ability to hit from anywhere, I thought it looked pretty similar. To your point, I can't compare the rest of their game, but shooting wise at least, that's all I was going for.
  23. He's broken each foot once. Left foot in 2017 and right foot in 2018
